Set your "Date Display Format" pref to %d/%m/%Y. Set your "Read Date Format" to Day/Month/Year Then do some math: 2 days from now: [math date]{[date]}+{02/00/0000}[/math] (just tested on a local OSX Enterprise WebDNA 6.2 to verify that it works) > --- > > Oh, and btw, have anybody else also noted that the "Math to use Date > Display Format" pref does exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to? > On my server at least, the [MATH date] tag uses the display format when > it's set to "no" but not when it's set to "yes" Yep. :-/ This is a bug in the admin templates. Thanks for bring it to light to the list. Until we release a new version, you can edit the file /WebCatalogEngine/admin/AdminPrefs.dna lines 189 and 190.. just switch the "yes" and "no" at the end of those lines.
